my270 Member 36 Member For: 12y 1m 9d Gender: Male Location: Dubbo, Central West NSW Posted 03/04/13 01:14 AM Share Posted 03/04/13 01:14 AM (edited) Trying to find out which kit to go for. They have advertised two kits one for 330 and a turbo kit For 850 which has fan and braided lines. Just trying to get some more pics on the cheaper option Cooler kit mounted behind fog light. Is the whole kit complete and is the hose diameter the right sizeAs I have heard ratter (pitlane) say that these need to be thicker to help with line pressure. I know jet and the guy from mackay have these kits installed, if you guys could chime in and tell me if anything else is needed For installation it would be much appreciated.

Some dont like the front mounted idea infront of cooler due to heatsoak but I ran up 410rwkw on 1 dyno before it then ran up 400kw on another dyno after it on a hotter day so in my mind the loses are very minimal.

If I go with the furious kit I am wanting to put it behind fog lights so in winter I am hoping it will act a little like a heat exchanger and get up to temp quicker as it gets quite cold where I live. I am not sure about overheating though in normal driving conditions with fog lights installed as summer also gets quite hot 40+ degree days. I know the fog light can be taken out but I quite like the look of them installed.100% success rate sounds good so furious kit is looking good and the only way ill know is to try it.

fordomatic1 Member 50 Member For: 11y 8m 18d Posted 03/04/13 10:22 AM Share Posted 03/04/13 10:22 AM From what I have heard a cooler is a VERY bad idea in high heat high traffic times. I have actually been talked out of fitting one by my tuner due to experiences they have had with external coolers and ZF's failing. I think the PWR option is the only real safe option at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
